After choosing the location, Xiaocao naturally had to explain to Wei Tingyu the abnormalities between Mr. Xie San and Baoer, as well as the matter of the musician in the music school. This was also one of the purposes of Xiaocao's meeting Wei Tingyu today.
Wei Tingyu was a little surprised. He knew that there was something wrong with Bao'er, but he could only guess that it was something wrong with her stomach. However, knowing Xiaocao's principles, he naturally did not ask any more questions. Now...
"If it is really related to the Music Bureau, it is nothing more than the descendant of a criminal, a treasure by Mr. Xie's side. Either there is some hidden story and he wants to overturn the case, or he simply wants to save someone. After going through such a big detour, the possibility of the former is higher. Apart from that, Mr. Xie can't cause any big trouble."
—Xie family, it is absolutely impossible for you to do anything treasonous.
"Xuan'er, just do your own thing. I will check it out now. You don't have to worry."
In Wei Tingyu's opinion, the most likely reason why Third Master Xie behaved in an unreasonable manner in front of Xuan'er was because he was borrowing someone's power. He didn't do anything after all. And if Bao'er's original family did have some hidden secrets, it might not be a bad idea to help them out depending on the situation.
But... Wei Tingyu's eyes were dark. "Helping" was easy to say, but it was impossible to help for nothing. Third Master Xie's ability was well known. If he didn't squeeze him to death, he would be sorry for himself. Oh, no, he was in the Medical Bureau now, so he should "die" for Xuan'er. - Prince Wei decided on Third Master Xie's retreat in an instant, even if the facts were different from his expectations.
In the afternoon, Xiaocao entered the palace at about the same time as Emperor Xuanren's lunch break to ask for someone.
Emperor Xuanren doted on his daughter excessively, and he agreed to Xiaocao's request without even thinking about it. He directly asked the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Revenue to help. Although the Ministry of Revenue did not have to pay, it was still possible for them to help control various aspects. Anyway, the Ministry of Works had nothing to do for the time being, as this year's autumn harvest had been completed long ago, tax collection had been completed, the epidemic had passed, and the Ministry of Revenue was also quite idle.
—Originally, Emperor Xuanren wanted to give money to Xiaocao, but Xiaocao joked that if the money was paid by the national treasury, the hospital would not belong to her. Emperor Xuanren actually accepted her argument completely and gave her a bunch of things as rewards. That’s another story.
—Most of those who were jealous of Xiaocao, especially the princes and princesses, have really lost their temper now. After all, they are not on the same level. They don’t even have the ability to trip her up. If they go up to pick a fight, they will just be asking for trouble.
When Xiaocao left the palace, she encountered two groups of people quarreling. Of course, the word quarreling is not so accurate. After all, it was just sarcasm and ridicule at best. The leader hadn't even opened his mouth yet, but the little ones were the ones who were making the most noise.
Xiaocao heard something vaguely, and then roughly understood what was going on. The two princes who went out with them, while others had received rewards more or less, only they were left out. This inevitably made people imagine a lot.
The other brothers, who were originally jealous of them for having made such great contributions in one trip, suddenly changed their attitude, especially since these two came back so much earlier but have not been assigned any tasks. They originally thought that it was out of the emperor's sympathy, but in fact, they might have incurred the emperor's dislike. They should not be too happy, especially Prince Heng's enemies. They were worried that he might be able to get up again this time, but unfortunately he seemed to have missed the opportunity. They were a little curious about what he had done to lead to this. It didn't matter if they couldn't find out, as it would not prevent them from stepping on him when they had the chance.
When they noticed Xiaocao, they all stopped at the same time and greeted each other.
"Sister Anguo, are you going to see our father before leaving the palace?" a young man asked with a bright smile.
After all, he was not familiar with them, so Xiao Cao was not sure which stepbrother he was, but he was so familiar with them...
As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person. Xiaocao smiled and nodded.
"We are about to go out of the palace to play. Can we go with Sister Anguo?"
"Princess Anguo is very busy. Do you think you are just like the rest of you, idle all day long? Are you looking for trouble? You are interfering with the important work. I am worried that the emperor will punish you when he comes back."
"Royal brother, what you said is just to leave the palace with Sister Anguo. There is no need to do anything else. Don't think too much."
Xiaocao was not interested in arguing with them. Whether they had a purpose or not, it had no effect on her. She could follow them if they wanted. After leaving the palace, Xiaocao got on the carriage and headed for Prince Duan's mansion.
Later, "As a prince, you want to get close to a princess of a different surname, you really have shamelessness!"
The ridiculed young man didn't care, "When you say this, ask yourself first, if you have the chance, can you really be noble?" No matter what you think in your heart, if you can really get closer to this sister (sister), no one would be unhappy. Most of them are still young. As long as Emperor Xuanren lives more years, there may be a chance. However, the chance is actually quite slim. Instead of thinking about those things, it is better to find an unbeatable path now.
If we really want to talk about stability, there is probably no one who can compare to Princess Anguo. Maybe at this stage, some people think that she is blocking the way and want to get rid of her as soon as possible, but no matter who it is, after ascending the throne, those who really have grudges will "let bygones be bygones" and live longer. Few people will think too much. A miracle doctor may sometimes be equivalent to one or even several more lives. Isn't their father the best proof? At the last moment, they had already made a will, but she was pulled back from the gates of hell. How can we not praise such a person
Then, they followed Xiaocao to Prince Duan's Mansion.
By the way, this is also an example. He had completely lost hope, but now that he has recovered, he has gone straight to the Ministry of Revenue.
Prince Duan was already at home, and his attitude toward Xiaocao and his younger brothers who came to visit him was the same.
While Xiaocao was examining Prince Duan's eyes, Princess Duan, as the eldest sister-in-law, entertained the group of uncles.
Xiaocao didn't spend much time on it and confirmed that there was indeed no problem. If nothing unexpected happened, the replaced pair of "eye masks" should allow Prince Duan to use them for life. This was unintentionally good news, and Prince Duan was in a better mood.
—To be honest, luck played a big role in the good situation. This is not the first time that this has happened. It seems that any "new" beginning will always turn out well. Xiaocao sometimes wonders if he is blessed by the god of luck.
As a younger brother, it is natural for him to care about his elder brother's situation. At this point, Prince Duan did not keep the secret and told him frankly.
These brothers were naturally happy for him, but as for the smile that was not so natural and genuine, who cared
Two days later, the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Revenue came to Xiaocao, and the head of the Ministry of Revenue was still Prince Duan.
"An Guo has been very kind to me, and I have never been able to repay him. This time, after learning about the situation, I shamelessly took over the matter and wanted to do my best to help. So An Guo, if you have any requests, just tell me, you are welcome."
With the status of Prince Duan and him personally in charge, there is naturally no need to worry about any problems. Anyone with any ulterior motives will quietly retract their claws. After all, once caught, it is definitely not as simple as just having their claws chopped off.
Xiaocao expressed his gratitude.
Then things started to unfold in full swing.
Naturally, there is no vacant land in this imperial city, so "demolition" is inevitable. Xiaocao has specifically reminded us to do this matter very well.
However, there was also one advantage to the era of supreme imperial power. When the imperial court was involved, there were no "nail households". Not only would they haggle and refuse to leave, but they would be so terrified that they feared they would not leave fast enough.
Therefore, things went very smoothly in the early stages, and with Xiaocao's generosity and Prince Duan's personal involvement, there wasn't a single bad rumor.
At this point, the entire imperial city knew about Xiaocao's big move. Xiaocao's previous righteous deeds were still vivid in people's minds. Solving the epidemic made her famous even more. When the hospital was first built, it was also popularized to the public, which naturally made people excited.
Of course, some people are worried, such as medical clinics and drug stores.
It is impossible for Xiaocao to squeeze their living space, so these problems must be solved. Some small pharmacies can absorb them into hospitals, and their future will only be better than their original one. What is more troublesome are the large medical clinics and pharmacies there. Some of them may have been passed down for hundreds of years. The construction of the hospital may not necessarily make them unable to survive, but the impact will definitely exist, so perhaps they can be solved through cooperation.
Xiaocao came up with this idea, and the rest was left to others.
Although building a hospital only requires money, Xiaocao was still very busy. He recruited and trained medical staff and the public, which caused a huge sensation for a while.
